Take up your cross and follow Me

“When Christ calls a man to Himself; He calls that man to die.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I wore my green crystal cross around my neck today.
In my jewellery drawer, I have a beautiful rhinestone cross on my charm bracelet.
I think I’ve forgotten to carry my cross for a long time.
The Cross is anything and everything that seems to hand us a raw deal - rejections, sorrow, disadvantages, sufferings and whatever other form of pain and death - on account of our obedience and faithfulness to the Man of Sorrow (Jesus)
As we walk the Via Dolorosa during this last week, may we never sanitise the message of the cross.
